I'm trying to finish up a configuration that normally backus up
to a RAIT of one vtape, and one real tape. The backup side of
this is working.
I wnat to have a disk_only (and perhaps a tape_only) config, that
will only be used to restor things. I've set up a common amanda
confi file in ../amanda.conf.main, and all 3 configs amanda.conf
file include it. In it I have:
nfofile "/opt/amanda/var/DailyDump/curinfo" # database DIRECTORY
logdir "/opt/amanda/var/DailyDump" # log directory
indexdir "/opt/amanda/var/DailyDump/index" # index directory
DailyDump is the "prime" configuration.
DailyDump's amanda.conf file looks like this:
ncludefile "/opt/amanda/etc/amanda.conf.main"
tpchanger "chg-multi"
changerfile "/opt/amanda/etc/DailyDump/chg-multi.conf"
tapetype RAIT
Just verifying that Amanda thinks the same as we:
$ amgetconf DailyDumps indexdir
That's everyhting that is in it.
disk_only's amanda.conf looks like this:
includefile "/opt/amanda/etc/amanda.conf.main"
tpchanger "chg-multi"
changerfile "/opt/amanda/etc/disk_only/chg-multi.conf"
tapetype HARD-DISK
And verify again that Amanda has the same result for indexdir
here:
$ amgetconf disk_only indexdir
But look at this:
root@amanda:/tmp# /opt/ama*/sbin/amrecover DailyDump
[...]
200 Disk set to /.
/tmp
WARNING: not on root of selected filesystem, check man-page!
So far, so good right? But then:
root@amanda:/tmp# /opt/ama*/sbin/amrecover disk_only
[...]
200 Disk set to /.
No index records for disk for specified date
If date correct, notify system administrator
Invalid directory - /tmp
Can't sem to find the index records, right? But it _should_ be able to
as they are configured in the common amanda config file. Or do the
index records somehow reference teh configuration? If so, can I
overide this somehow?
Also have a look in the /tmp/amanda/ directory on the index-server,
and examine the files "amindexd.datetime.debug" for any other
indications. (stupid question: remembering that you had trouble
with DNS: are you 100% sure that "amanda.meadwestvaco.com" is always
the same computer, i.e. DNS has only one IP-number for that host?
Do you find the amindexd.datetime.debug file for each session?)
